Cloud Atlas

"Everything is connected."

Six different stories from the past, through the present, and to the future with the same twists and turns, characters and personalities, belief and religion, principles and philosophy.

The moment I saw the trailer, I knew I would be watching it in a movie house, and I did. It pulled me that much with the great concept and visually appealing execution. Every scene worth the time, thus saying, this almost-three-hour-long film does not bore any viewer. I also read the book which, of course, has more substantiation of everything that are happening, but the immediate power or ability of a film worked very well on a sci-fi like this. Six different stories seemed to be very consuming for a viewer, but not this one- at least to myself- I was amazed of how scenes from different plot connect really well.

I specifically want to commend the make-up, I did not notice Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Jim Sturgess appeared on each story segment until they reveal it on the CBB.
